Rosati Family Wine Dinner @ Enotria

We are very excited at Enotria to feature such a small production, hand-crafted winery for a special wine-pairing dinner next Friday the 29th of January at 7pm. This will include four delicious courses paired with two Rosati Family Cabernets in a back to back vertical, and one of their neighbors, the famous Paul Hobbs Chardonnay from Russian River Valley. This entire experience for just $59 per person. This is basically sold out and more fantastic dinners to follow. Stay tuned for our Valentines special Prix Fixe Menu!

Thanksgiving Wines

One of the best holidays for wine! Turkey, cranberry sauces, stuffing....sounds like Pinot, Pinot, Pinot. Actually Pinot Noir is such a versatile pairing wine with it's light cinnamon spices, bright fruit and light-bodied-ness. That being said many light to medium bodied French wines can pair well too. When I saw Pinot Noir I mean domestic, Burgundy would be France. After all France is all about wine & food, never apart! Check out my Friday Flight here at Enotria Restaurant for some great examples of perfect French wines for the holidays.

Halloween Wines

What could be more Halloween festive than an orange wine label? I have served a Spanish Tempranillo called the Cortijo III, has a super bright orange label. This wine is coincidentally perfect for the season for it's easy drinking qualities. Halloween is all about walking around, candy, fun times, so this wine doesn't need to be paired with big protein entrees and be be easlily enjoyed on it's on, no food nessasary. So happy Halloween, call me if you need any!

With Weather, Comes Wine

Time to load up on those cinnimon spicy Pinots, Barberas, and Cabernets if you're up for it. The heartier reds with more structured tanins go well with bigger, more heavy foods that we seem to enjoy in the fall months. Try some more full-bodied reds today but please do yourself a favor and taste them with food as those tanins will subside with those food proteins.
